    Is it weird that the only celebrity who’s getting a public print of emissions is one that is despised by a political party for getting people out to vote?

    I don’t really care much about her, but this feels like “how do we get young people to not listen to this person… ah, let’s go with emissions”.

      I’m sure that doesn’t hurt, but I think it’s primarily from being #1 on that list of private jet emissions. Easiest to remember who #1 is and keep talking about that.

      And well, she’s welcome to stop doing it. The republicans aren’t making her fly this much. I still think it’s a net positive if she inspires enough turnout to defeat Trump in 2024, but it’s still singularly her choice to send that plane up there and don’t think it’s that good for the environment.

        Oh no. It’s not good, and we should probably lambast the top 10 after the election. Right now, it just feels like the trap is communicating republican propaganda. We know how good they are for the environment, and the cost to the planet will be far greater…
